~Emerald~I was left for words after hearing what James had uttered. The anger from his tone made me let out a deep breath. I can really feel his annoyance.“Emerald, where is he now?” We were suddenly interrupted when someone spoke behind us. I turned my head at the back and found Cassandra with Jacob in her hold. I immediately approached her and took Jacob from her.“He's dead, Cass. James killed him,” I responded to her. Cassandra felt relieved after I told her about it. Her face softened, and then her head turned at James.James approached me. He gives our son a kiss on his forehead and this time, I gave Jacob back to Cassandra. We still have to deal with what happened here.“Can you hold him for now, Cass?” I uttered toward my friend. She nodded her head and took Jacob from me.At this time, I turned my head at James who still looked so serious about what happened earlier. He was staring at nowhere, particularly to the border's direction. His men have already cleaned the mess be
~Emerald~I can feel my eyes widened when I heard those words from James. I never expected him to say that.“What the hell are you talking about, James?” I muttered to him.James furrowed his brows for a moment, and then he let out a deep sigh. He was still holding Jacob in his arms as he looked at me.“You heard me, Emerald. I want you to stay away from him. He's my friend, but I don't want you to be close with him. You didn't know him,” he responded.I couldn't help but shake my head, while the corner of my lips lifted as many thoughts kept flashing into my head. His actions tell me something.‘Your husband might get jealous of you talking to other men. That's what I understood from James,’ Lilian uttered inside my head.“Nah, I won't go to him. I don't even know Harold.”James nodded his head, a look of relief flashes to his face.“Good, 'cause I don't like the way he looked at you. He's an old friend of mine, but I can be a monster if they dare to touch what's mine.”After James u
~Emerald~“You are pregnant, Luna Emerald.”My heart beats so fast again when I remember these words from the pack doctor. She just informed me about my pregnancy. A pregnancy that I can't wait to tell my husband about.Alpha James, the new Alpha King of Crescent Moon Pack was my husband. We got married almost a year ago and now I could still recall that very moment when my life had changed. It was just a forced marriage. We both agreed on the name of our packs.As time goes by, I have formed feelings for him. A feeling that I know I am scared of telling him. James and I were not real mates. He hasn't found his real mate yet. We have agreed that once he finds her, he will leave me. He would reject our marriage and I can have my freedom.I agreed at first, but after a year of being together, I have learned that I can't lose him. I can't give him to anyone, especially now that he will become a father to our child. He has no idea about my pregnancy and I can't wait to tell him about it.
~Emerald~On that same evening, everyone was called to introduce the newly found mate of Alpha James. This would be so painful for me to think that my husband of almost a year, the father of my child will abandon me for his newly found mate. But what can I do about it? Even though it's painful, I have to face this. I have to face them and show everyone what I've got for Alpha James to consider me. The child was my last hope for Alpha James to keep me. Everyone will know the child that I was carrying tonight when Alpha James introduced his mate in front of the wolves.“Are you sure you have to do this?”My wolf, Lilian, spoke through my head. I nodded my head and looked at myself in the mirror for the last time before going to the venue.“I will do this for my child.” Lilian just takes out a deep sigh. She didn't speak anymore as I left the room to follow everyone at the venue.It feels so hard to step my legs with my body trembling. My tears were about to streamed down once again bu
“I, the Alpha King of this pack, reject you, Emerald Howard as my wife. Therefore, Katie, my fated mate will replace your position as my wife and the Luna of this pack.”Everyone listened as the rejection began. I was stunned in my direction. I wanted to leave and run away but my legs were paralyzed. My eyes don't want to leave Alpha James as he rejected me in front of everyone, in front of the wolves I used to love and served for many years.He continued. “With the power vested upon me, my decision is irrevocable.” After I heard those words from my husband, I pushed myself to stand up even though I am still in pain. Tears kept on falling from my eyes as I walked near them. I don't care what they will think of me. I don't care what Alpha James will do to me because what's important for me is I have done something to keep him. My legs folded as I kneeled in front of them. Commotions happened because of what I did. Alpha James and his mate, Katie were staring at me.“Please, don't do
~Emerald~Being desperate wasn't in my vocabulary but thinking about losing the man I love and losing the father of my child, I am willing to be one. I can sacrifice everything if it means bringing my family back. I won't let anyone ruin the family I cared about. I will not hesitate to do everything I could just to stop those who dared to ruin the family I built.Today, I woke up so early despite the pain I went through last night. Alpha James didn't throw me away from his Mansion but we're no longer living in the same room. Katie was with him all night and thinking about them made me hurt so badly.“What's your plan now?”I was walking the hall when my wolf, Lilian, spoke up. I let out a deep sigh and wiped the tears from my eyes as it started streaming down again.“I don't know, Lilian…” I uttered, almost breaking again. “I don't know what else to do, but let's see.”I heard my wolf let out a sigh at the back of my head. She didn't say anything because she already knew me. Lilian do
~Emerald~Alpha James grasped my arm and he began dragging me out of the house. I wasn't able to speak up again because of what he did. He pushed me outside, making me fall to the ground.“And you really think you can fool me again?”I cried. I can't believe James to be this heartless. He didn't believe me. He thought I was lying but I will not do that to him.“I am not lying to you, James. I am carrying your child and you have to believe me, please…” I begged again, but James was anxious.He pointed his finger at me, his face covered with anger now. I can see it based on how he looked at me. “I don't love you, Emerald. I don't want you in my life. You better leave the pack or else I will imprison you in the dungeon for disobeying the rule of the Alpha King. You should be thankful that I still consider you as my wife. I still consider our memories together that's why I let you stay after I rejected you but what you did to my mate made me think that you should be thrown out here.” Ja
~Emerald~It was Alpha Gideon. He was Alpha James' step-brother. The Alpha who was also feared by many, but has no effect on Alpha James. I was still in shock, knowing that he arrived at exactly where I was about to die. He rescued me before these evils succeeded in killing me.“Why did my brother want to kill you?” His deep baritone voice sent shivers through my body. I gulped, and couldn't form even a single word. Despite that, I still try my best to speak. “A-Alpha James wanted to kill me because he finally found his mate. He…He threw me out of the pack,” I uttered in between tears. The things that happened to me from earlier were still fresh in my head. I don't know how to move on to this. I don't know how to forget all of these. Everything James did to me, it's stabbing my heart a million times.Alpha Gideon who just heard my words tilted his head. He crossed his arms, still looking at me.“Why would my step-brother do that to you?” He asked in his cold voice. I bit my bottom
